Another Man's Treasure



So, I went dumpster diving Saturday AM. There's a place that every first Saturday of the month they throw away big things. I used to live in that area, which is how I know. My ex used to get upset when I went 'running' and I'd walk back with a huge bookshelf or somesuch item. Which is why I didn't tell M when I went yesterday. Damn baggage. It really does cost to bring it on from an old relationship. I did tell him when I was there, in part because I had just found this chair, and I really wanted to keep it. I also got the plastic patio furniture I wanted, but this was a huge bonus. I love it.

I finished the hallway. Damnation that took a long time. And it reinforces that I really need to suck it up and let someone provide tips on how to paint. Ugh. So, now I decide if I should even paint all the doors/doorframes that I have. I'm tempted to just leave them as is...

I watched the movie Up in the Air last night on DVD. I liked it, but there was one very unreal moment in the film. Did you notice the beeehind of the supposedly late 30's woman that sleeps with him? Amazing beeehind - but so clearly a stunt double butt. How on earth can a late 30's woman have an amazing butt?? Is that even possible? I don't think so, but you could prove me wrong.

Awwwwwww......what a cute little chair.
Dang--I wish I knew where and when--I'd have a good time salvaging. Maybe I oughta hit an auction or two....not the same, but close enough!

That's a beautiful chair! Good find! My mom used to go looking for stuff like that on the neighborhood treelawns. People threw out all sorts of good stuff.

Mel, ya know, I've never been to an auction. Likely a good thing.
Tara - thanks! When I went to college it was great at the end of the school year.. amazing stuff.

Great find!

And this is what it says on IMDB (and other places too) about the butt - Vera Farmiga used a body double for her nude scene. In an interview she stated she has no problems being naked in a film but she had recently given birth and "The breast milk running down would have been inappropriate".

I'm cracking up at Laura's comment. I gotta find me a body double like that.

Pamela said...

Huh, now I know where to look up butt stuff. I told M about the butt - it was a very nice one. So now he wants to see the movie.
Churlita - did you see it??
